Product Description
Product Description
Decadent, subversive, and bristling with artistic invention, the myth-born cinema of Jean Cocteau disturbs as much as it charms. Cocteau was the most versatile of artists in prewar Paris. Poet, novelist, playwright, painter, celebrity, and maker of cinema-his many talents converged in bold, dreamlike films that continue to enthrall audiences around the world. In The Blood of Poet, Orpheus, and Testament of Orpheus, Cocteau utilizes the Orphic myth to explore the complex relationships between the artist and his creations, reality and the imagination. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the DVD premiere of the Orphic Trilogy in a special limited-edition three-disc box set.
Blood of a Poet
"Poets . . . shed not only the red blood of their hearts but the white blood of their souls," proclaimed Jean Cocteau of his groundbreaking first film-an exploration of the plight of the artist, the power of metaphor and the relationship between art and dreams. One of cinema's great experiments, this first installment of the Orphic Trilogy stretches the medium to its limits in an effort to capture the poet's obsession with the struggle between the forces of life and death. Criterion is proud to present The Blood of a Poet (Le Sang d'un poète).
Jean Cocteau's 1940s update of the Orphic myth depicts Orpheus (Jean Marais), a famous poet scorned by the Left Bank youth, and his love for both his wife Eurydice (Marie Déa) and the mysterious Princess (Maria Casarès). Seeking inspiration, the poet follows the Princess from the world of the living to the land of the deceased through Cocteau's trademark "mirrored portal." As the myth unfolds, the director's visually poetic style pulls the audience into realms both real and imagined in this, the centerpiece to his Orphic Trilogy. Criterion is proud to present Orpheus (Orphée) in a gorgeous new digital transfer.
Testament of Orpheus
In his last film, legendary writer/artist/filmmaker Jean Cocteau portrays an 18th-century poet who travels through time on a quest for divine wisdom. In a mysterious wasteland, he meets several symbolic phantoms that bring about his death and resurrection. With an eclectic cast that includes Pablo Picasso, Jean-Pierre Leáud, Jean Marais and Yul Brynner, Testament of Orpheus (Le Testament de Orphée) brings full circle the journey Cocteau began in The Blood of a Poet, an exploration of the torturous relationship between the artist and his creations. Criterion is proud to present the last installment of the Orphic Trilogy in a new digital transfer.
The Blood of a Poet
"A realistic documentary of unreal situations" reads the introductory card of Jean Cocteau's debut film, which recalls the work of the silent surrealists (notably Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's Un Chien Andalou and L'Âge d'Or). Cocteau uses dream imagery to explore poetry, artistic creation, memory, death, and rebirth in four separate fantasy sequences. In the first scene, an artist confronts his creations when they take on a life of their own. In the second, he dives through a mirror (a primitive but startling effect Cocteau refines for Orpheus) and into a skewed hall where every door reveals a fantastic dream scene. The third sequence finds a gang of boys turning a snowball fight into a cruel war, and in the last an audience gathers to witness a dead boy's resurrection amidst a strange card game. These descriptions do little to communicate the poetry of each segment, which rely on creative imagery to create meaning not in stories but in symbols and metaphors. Cocteau's realization is often stiff and stilted, the work of a visual artist transforming still images into an medium that moves through time, but it's never less than beautiful and evocative. Cocteau returned to many of the same themes in Orpheus and The Testament of Orpheus. --Sean Axmaker
A Parisian poet becomes seduced by the prospect of eternal fame in Jean Cocteau's jazzy 1949 update of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus. The café set won't give successful Orpheus (Jean Marais) the time of day, so he obliges when the Princess of Death (Maria Casarés) orders him into her Rolls Royce with her injured young protégé. It isn't long before the poet realizes the commanding Princess is no ordinary benefactor of the arts; for one thing, she can travel through mirrors. The next day, Orpheus returns to his frantic wife Eurydice (Marie Déa) with the kindly chauffeur Heurtibise (François Périer), but remains distracted by the Princess and the cryptic messages from her car radio. The equally smitten Princess eventually takes Eurydice before her time, which results in an underworld trial about her actions. To get his wife back, Orpheus must promise to never to look at his wife, but his heart's not in it. This black-and-white film slyly explores the dark side of the creative urge with panache. Dreamy and mesmerizing, it depicts an underworld not too different from everyday life. With subtitles. --Diane Garrett
The Testament of Orpheus
It is the unique power of the cinema to allow a great many people to dream the same dream together and to present illusion to us as if it were strict reality. It is, in short, an admirable vehicle for poetry." Jean Cocteau, at age 70, thus ruminates on the life and purpose of the creative artist in a poetic essay. Cocteau himself stars as a time-traveling poet bopping helplessly through the ages until an experimental scientist grounds him in a kind of never-never land where he defends himself to the judges of Orpheus, dies, and is resurrected to complete his sentence: "condemned to live." Though the film opens with scenes from Orpheus, the series of symbolic encounters and surreal images more resembles The Blood of a Poet. What's different is his cinematic assurance and sly sense of humor: shot through with jokey gags and playful imagery, the film is less philosophical treatise than career summation by way of farewell party. He's invited fictional characters (most of the cast of Orpheus) and real-life friends (cameos range from Brigitte Bardot to Yul Brynner to Pablo Picasso) from his past and present to send him off to an uncertain future. The new Home Vision video and Criterion DVD releases feature the restored color sequence. Cocteau died in 1963, three years after completing the film. --Sean Axmaker

In this 3 disc box set there are 3 feature films by Jean Cocteau.
The Blood of a Poet (Le Sang d'un poète)
Orpheus (Orphée)
The Testament of Orpheus (Le Testament d'Orphée)
Blood of a Poet is a surreal film which is about a painter who ends up having a set of lips growing on his hand.
Orpheus is based on the famous myth depicted in then-modern times. It has some great scenes and was very popular.
Testament of Orpheus is about a poet whotravels through time and visits a post apoctalyptic wasteland.
The set has special features on each disc. There is one hour biography on Jean Cocteau, transcripts of lectures Cocteau gave before screenings of the films, behind the scenes photos of Blood of a Poet, bibliography and filmography of Cocteau, and the 36 minute film La Villa Santo-Sospir.
The films also have some cool reverse-motion effects which show actions in reverse, some of the reverse scenes are of a man jumping into a lake, a flower being crumbled in someone's hand and a few others. This box set is a great release and is a MUST for Cocteau fans.
Cocteau made no films for over a decade, and only returned to the cinema during the Occupation with The Eternal Return, for which he wrote the screenplay. Although directed by Jean Delannoy, the film was clearly Cocteau's own creation, and marked both the beginning of a period of fertile cinematic collaboration with Jean Marais and a new phase in Cocteau's contributions to film. The masterpiece of this period is, of course, Orpheus (1949). Cocteau had begun in Blood of a Poet by radically breaking with realism. Now he set about showing how the images of modern life could be invested with a mythic power of their own.
In The Eternal Return, Cocteau had put the story of Tristan and Yseult into a modern setting, but without the least hint of irony. In updating the myth of Orpheus to post-World War II Paris, however, he adopted a very different strategy. The Thracian singer becomes a rich and famous writer (Jean Marais) who supplies exactly what the public looks for in literature.Read more ›

The political strife in Turkey has also found expression in Germany, which is home to the biggest Turkish diaspora.

Starting out as a reporter in his native Georgia, Nunnally Johnson worked his way up the journalistic ladder to the New York Herald Tribune. A prolific writer, Johnson contributed fiction to such periodicals as The New Yorker and The Saturday Evening Post; one of his Post stories was adapted for the screen as the 1927 Clara Bow vehicle Rough House Rosie. Unlike other Manhattan-based writers, Johnson was attracted to film work. When his proposal to write movie criticism for The New Yorker was turned down by editor Harold Ross in 1933, Johnson decided to move to Hollywood, where he immediately found work as a screenwriter. Well known for his laconic, biting wit, Johnson became a close friend of several other well-known Tinseltown quipsters, notably Groucho Marx. His movie career was briefly jeopardized in the late 1930s when, under a pseudonym, he wrote a less than flattering Saturday Evening Post profile of powerful gossip columnist Louella Parsons. The crisis passed, and Johnson remained incredibly busy, particularly at 20th Century-Fox, where from 1935 onward he toiled as both screenwriter and associate producer.
Among the many films benefitting from Johnson's expertise was 1940's The Grapes of Wrath, which co-starred Dorris Bowden, a budding leading lady who gave up her career to become Johnson's wife. In partnership with onetime Fox executive William Goetz, Johnson formed International Pictures in 1943, turning out such projects as Woman in the Window (1944) and The Stranger (1946) until International merged with Universal in 1946. Johnson returned to Fox as a producer, handling many of the best early CinemaScope efforts, notably 1953's How to Marry a Millionaire. He turned to directing in 1954 with the literate murder mystery Black Widow; though not terribly proficient visually, he had a sharp ear for intelligent, scintillating dialogue, as proven by such films as The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit (1956). Johnson's best directorial efforts include the pioneering multiple-personality drama Three Faces of Eve (1957) and the sprightly all-star comedy Oh, Men, Oh Women (1957). While sweating through a difficult location shoot during the making of The Angel Wore Red (1960), Johnson suddenly decided he was too old and too wealthy to continue knocking himself out as a director, and he returned exclusively to screenwriting. Two years after his last film, The Dirty Dozen (1968), Johnson announced his formal retirement ("I simply put on my top hat and tails -- and retired"); a collection of his letters to and from famous friends was published posthumously in 1981.

Grant completed his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University (BYU), during which time he took a break from school and lived in Romania for two years where he learned the Romanian language and became interested in Romanian history. His capstone research paper at BYU focused on the communist takeover in Romania. He obtained his master's degree at the University of Edinburgh in the History of the Second World War in Europe. His thesis dealt with German stereotypes of the Romanian Army during the Second World War and has since been published. He currently is at Texas A&M working on his Ph.D. focusing on a social-military history of the Romanian Army and its motivations for fighting on the Eastern Front, including its participation in the Holocaust. He has just participated as a fellow in the Auschwitz Jewish Center programme.

Vermont marks reconstruction of state officesMay 06,2014The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - Gov. Peter Shumlin is marking the start of construction of what will become the home of the Vermont Agency of Human Services at the Waterbury office complex, most of which had to be abandoned after it was damaged by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
The governor on Tuesday ceremoniously helped construction crews pour one of the first concrete footings on what will become the new state office building.
The $125 million Waterbury state office project is the largest state capital construction project in state history.
Construction is due to be completed by the end of 2015. Once that is done, it will become home to about 900 employees of the Agency of Human Services.

Do we really have options?
I was going to explore the new trend of green IT or perhaps talk about the morality of threatening or blackmailing (your choice) software companies into fixing security holes, but an article in Computerworld about a hospital selecting a Linux-based email system with compatible features to Microsoft's Exchange brought back to my mind a discussion I have had with others about the real choices there are in today's software wilderness.
What started the discussion was my thought that one does not have to look too hard to find a pundit saying you have options other than Vista. As a long-time Linux user and evangelist, I knew this to be truth, but with an asterisk. As a technician, I am technology agnostic. I want the best solution for the job, but, I also have to be conscious of cost, both personally and professionally. Now do not get me wrong, I am not cheap, but neither do I see value in paying more for less. So when my laptop died a couple of months ago, I sat down and did some research.
I actually had tinkered with the idea of going to a Mac. But I rapidly changed my mind. Putting the cost and requirements of the operating system aside for a moment and just looking at the hardware, it becomes clear that hardware is cheap, unless you are buying it from Apple. I wanted a dual-core machine, and about 4 GB of RAM. Disk is subject to change. I also wanted a light weight machine since it spends almost as much time on my back as it does on my desk. Today a 13" MacBook is available for $1,299 or $1,499 depending on whether you want a 160 GB disk or a 250 GB disk, each with 2 GB of RAM and a 2.4 Core2 Duo CPU. Two years ago, I was buying quad core (Intel) servers with 4 GB of RAM and 250 GB disk for $1000. The laptop I ended up with is a 15" screen on a 2.4 Core2 Duo with 3 GB of RAM and 250 GB of disk and cost me $700. I bought my wife a similar machine a month later with a 17" screen and a full keyboard for $100 less! So why would I buy a Mac? I could buy two laptops for the price of a single Mac with similar configurations.
And so, before I even have a discussion of operating systems, I have already ruled out an operating system simply because of hardware costs. Yes, I can get expensive PC compatible systems, but face facts. If an apples to apples comparison of basic features results in a higher cost of one platform over another, why would you?
So now I have my hardware. When I bought my machine, a Gateway in the case of full disclosure, it came with Vista Home on it and after making sure the hardware all worked, I set about reformatting it and loading Linux. Now before we get into the issues of the load, remember that Linux, despite the marketing and other issues, is nothing more than the kernel. The thing that makes everything else go. Sure, it is important, but, in the grand scheme of the debates over distributions, the kernel is always the same (unless we are talking BSD...different kernel). So the next choice is distribution. I am a fan of the Red Hat tree and run Fedora. I run Fedora mostly because I do a lot with Oracle and it just makes it easier to do things, so off I went to install my distribution, and very shortly ran into problems.
It would seem that the wireless network card was not detected. OK, not a big deal. A couple of Google searches and I would be able to fix that I figured. After all, my last machine suffered from the Intel 2200 patch issues and I managed to get it working, until a new kernel released and I had to do it again...and again... This time, I was stymied. The NIC did not seem to have a kernel patch or driver. At least not one I could easily find. And now, we have eliminated Linux as an operating system. So I installed Vista Ultimate.
I am also a consultant and as such, I am currently reviewing the environment of a customer who is dissatisfied with the current status quo and wants to make some changes and have flexible options without it costing an arm and a leg. Further, he needs to be able to connect multiple operating systems together to share information through files, code (SVN), email and wiki. They are currently running Windows on their primary server, which is limited to only two terminal (RDP) connections and there are several VPN connectivity issues. Further, the server is hosted by a hosting company so all administration has to be done remotely.
My suggestion is to move to Linux. Unlike my personal odyssey, most hosted companies support Windows and Linux equally and because of the requirements, such as Subversion, Jira/Confluence and multi-OS access, Linux is the most reasonable choice. Remote management is certainly easier, despite the leaps made by Windows in the realm of remote management tools. Further, there are more cost-effective software solutions available for a growing company with a limited budget. In some ways, I am lucky. The company is open-minded and willing to consider all of the options. By comparison, I had discussions with a branch of the US Federal Government that was seriously evaluating the desktop environment they had. As I dug further in to the task as it was explained, it sounded more like a customer looking to justify their current solution, because the entire back-end infrastructure, managed by another department within the organization, was 100% Windows based and they had no plans to change. And they had put in a requirement that whatever desktop system was selected, it had to work with, and be managed by, the Windows environment. I walked away from that one after the initial meeting.
In the end are there really options? Yes, we have options, but there are trade-offs. Cost versus functionality. Generic hardware versus proprietary (or availability). But at the end of the day, the options are sometimes limited, usually by politics, regardless of what we would prefer.

Do we really have options?
Apparently a better question is do we really the sense that God gave a turnip?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Islands of the lagoon, Venice
31 Reviews
31 Reviews
Favorite thing:
If you're at all interested in Venetian glass, you probably already know that the nearby island of Murano is the place to go. This is where all the glass factories were moved centuries ago, when it was determined that they posed too great a fire hazard to remain in Venice proper. Most people come here to tour a glass factory or the glass museum and to buy glass - shop after shop line the main canals.
Even with all the people who come here for the glass, though, it's still more like a small town, especially compared to Venice. I came here just to relax for half a day while my friend shopped for glass, and it was nice just boating across the Venetian Lagoon to get here. Vaporetti leave from Venice's Fondamenta Nuove, in the Cannaregio District.
Favorite thing:
To the north-east of Venice, about 10km from Saint Mark's, four little islands make up Burano. Canals, narrow houses painted in pastel colours or decidely contrasting with the single shades of the lagoon, interweave with sails and fishing boats.
The island was already known in antiquity for the trade in fruit and vegetables which the people of Burano plied with the mainland, but what really brought fame to the island was the craft of lace-making.
Favorite thing:
San Giorgio or the island of the Cypresses is situated opposite the piazzetta of Saint Mark. In 982 it became the site of a Benedictine monastery by order of Giovanni Morosini. The earthquake of 1223 destroyed part of the buildings on the island, but the reconstruction began immediately under the doge Pietro Zani, who was buried here in 1929.
In the 15th century the island became the focal point of the artistic-cultural revolution that was ragging in Italy.
In 1559 Palladio built the Refectory, which today contains a Marriage of the Virgin by Tintoretto, and in 1565 hebegan building the church, completed in 1610 by Simone Sorella.
Favorite thing:
Lido lies in the lagoon, about 1,5km from Saint Mark's, forming an ideal barrier between Venice and the Adriatic. Today it is a famous and elegant bathing resort, but in the middle of the last century there was nothing here at all, apart from Malamocco, the convent of San Nicolo and the military district.
The church of San Nicolo, originally from the 17th century, was the former convent of the Benedictines, today used by the Franciscans. There are two 11th century Byzantine capitals at the entrance to the convent and, next to the 16th century cloister, part of the older one from 14th century.
Nearby to the convent is the 14th century Jewish Cemetery.
Favorite thing: From the Zattere, you can take a waterbus to la Giudecca, where the main sights are the church of Il Redentore, and San Giorgio Maggiore. San Giorgio Maggiore is located at the tip of Giudecca Island, and you can climb to the top of the bell tower, for great panoramic shots. Just don't go when the bell is about to ring!!
Favorite thing:
There many islands to explore, not just the main island that most people visit.
Fondest memory: The boat ride to Murano to see the glass factory. I visited the factory there on my first trip, but now the factory has moved to the main island of Venice due to the rising water.
Favorite thing:
Burano is another island to explore.
Fondest memory: Burano is one of my favorite islands, I love the colorful houses and miniture canals and bridges. You can read and see more about Burano on my Burano page.
Look for the sign in the picture near St. Mark's Square - these are the boats that go to Burano.
Favorite thing:
When we were in Venice we went on one of those three hour excursions that take you to the islands around Venice. They take you to Murano, Burano and Torcello. The one island we wished we could've spent more time in was Burano. Murano is all about trying to be sold one of the beautiful glass items that are made in one of the factories and that is it. Torcello is nice but you should know that there is about a fifteen minute walk from the dock to where you go see the old church where they say there is one of the nails from the cross that Jesus was nailed to.
Fondest memory: Burano was the island that I wish we could've spent more time on. It is so cute. You really feel like it is a place that is behind the times, in a good way. The different colored buildings, the little shops, restaurants. I'm dying to go back to this little island. I hope the next time we go back we can just go to Burano!
Favorite thing: Isola di San Michele is the island of the dead. This is the cemetary for Venice and that is all that is there, no life, maybe only the afterlife. I imagine it is very quiet there at night.....The water bus that we took did not pass real close, but thats okay..
Favorite thing:
Aaah.... the vaparetto to Burano.... I don't want to show you any pics of Burano in these general tips. Those photos are all in the 'off the beaten path' section. Hmmm, but the boatride is wonderful, and Burano.... just breathtaking! The colours of this place will amaze you.
Favorite thing:
When Venice becomes too much and you need some space, head for Murano. It's like Venice but with a vastness of sky above it ,which on a hot June day made a wonderful change from the humidity, bustle and oppressiveness of the city. It's sleepy and laid back - ignore the herding of tourists towards the glass factories as you get off the vaporetto and head in the other direction. The little squares have amazing glass sculptures in them. The Glass Museum is quite interesting and will only take an hour or so to look around at most. The glass shops are varied - trinkets to fine art. Manin56 my favourite. We found the shops with the most interesting and unique glass were also the least pushy. Always visit the local cemetry when on holiday abroad - always interesting and a peaceful haven in an oft busy holiday schedule - Murano was no exception - I have never seen such a colourful graveyard!
Fondest memory: I miss most standing at bars drinking espresso, or prosecco, watching the locals pop in and out, chatting to each other. Middle-aged venetian ladies going out at 6pm for a spritz and swopping gossip. I just loved how people live there.
Also - the best meal we ever had - Restaurant B on Murano not far from Colonna Vaporetto stop. Sitting in a shady campo, we told the manager we would eat anything and what did he recommend? It's the best thing you can do - they love to show off their food skills and we had a fantastic 4 course meal with wine and complimentary drinks, coffee etc for about £30 a head. So many people turned away from restaurants because the menu is not in english - don't make the same mistake. They will help you, they speak good english and you are abroad - so embrace the experience!
Favorite thing:
The 4 star Amadeus Hotel in Cannagerio pleasantly surprised me with a free round trip private boat ride over to Murano with a private tour (one on one ) of one of the "furnaces" there, complete with a history of the art of glassblowing. They do not advertise this feature , so before paying for transportation or private tour of Murano just ask your hotel.(if its 4 or 5 stars) ps. you dont have to buy anything - they will still give you the tour... Also the Amadeus Hotel is immaculately clean with a huge hot breakfast and a great location. Another tip for a cheap transfer from the Airport is to get on the nbr 5 bus (actv) only 3 euro and take it to Piazale Roma then its a 10 min walk to the Amadeus. You really dont have to pay USD100.00 or more to get from the Airport to any hotel. Research the local transportation. The 10 minute walk had 2 bridges with lots of stairs to climb but a teenage boy saw me struggle a little and asked if he carry my bag over the bridge but only if he could practice his English!! He refused money and I was thrilled with my 1st introduction to the Venetian people!!!!
Fondest memory: I am a single, mid-aged pretty woman who has always traveled alone. While on my way to my Doges Palace Tour I was rushing through St. Marks Sq and right in front of the 4 pc orchestra,who were playing a waltz, an Italian man (older) just grabbed me by the hand and I started waltzing with him. The crowd applauded us and kept saying STAY ---but I yelled back "The Doge awaits me...."
After much laughter, the Italian man kissed me hand in a very gallant way.
Everything is so ancient there. After Sunday Mass in St. Lucy's Church there was a local bake sale and the priest took me through the "secret passage way" to get there because the rain was coming down hard. It really was the secret way with a spooky hidden staircase... I absolutley loved my trip to Venice. But stay away from buying a coke at St. Marks sit- down restuarant - 8 euro -($11.20) Stick with the water - only 4 euro better yet buy it from a grocer only 1.5 euro....
Favorite thing: Along the white sands of the Lido strolled Eleonora Duse and Gabriele d'Annunzio (Flame of Life), Goethe in Faustian gloom, a clubfooted Byron trying to decide with whom he was in love that day, Alfred de Musset pondering the fickle ways of George Sand, Thomas Mann's Gustave von Aschenbach with his eye on Tadzio in Death in Venice, and Evelyn Waugh's Sebastian Flyte and Charles Ryder with their eye on each other in Brideshead Revisited.
Favorite thing:
I loved going to Murano, Burano, and Torcello for the day. They are mellow and of course totally geared for the tourists...esp Murano & Burano.
Fondest memory: My fondest memory was spending a day on Torcello. It seemed to be standing still since the 15th century, There is an old church there, the roses grow up the side - they are an intense bright blood red. The feeling you get is of time standing still and there are places where the wild grass is a few feet tall.
I sat in the church - it was cool and very peaceful. Another time there was a service on and with media folks..don't know what. But it was great to observe a local ritual.
It is so serene and quiet. And then I had lunch at the cafe not far from the church. It was incredible. It was a simple zucchini ravioli with zucchini sauce and zucchini french fries sprinkled on top. I was amazed at the simplicity and yet quality.
If you get a chance and want to slow down and step back in time - go to Torcello!
Sometimes - when it gets really busy for me - I think of that day and invariably I smile and feel peaceful.
Favorite thing:
If visiting Venice, a trip to the various islands in the lagoon can provide a good overall basis for what Venice is like in terms of canals and life. The islands of Murano and Burano, the islands of lace and glass are provide a good microcosm of what the main sections of Venice are like. Both Murano (Glass) and Burano (lace) have canals, churches, and many of the typical elements one associates with Venice.
Fondest memory: The Island of Burano is a wonderful island with the houses being painted in a wide variety of colors. Although Burano is becoming a bit touristy, the island still allows for a bit more quiet than the main islands.

Hi and welcome to my little corner here at Renderosity. I live in the UK with hubby, One of my 2 offspring, and 2 totally insane Labradors. Currently in my 50's I gave up my job as Manager of a Health Club to become a fulltime carer for my Mother in Law. She has since passed away, and now I just potter about. My hobbies include Poser, Photoshop,Vue, Photography and World of Warcraft but not necessarily in that order lol. I first discovered Poser some 10 years ago. I never really liked it until I found out how to 'unstick' them from the floor, then I was hooked. I joined Rendo in 2001 and in that time I've opened up my own store here and made some really good lasting friendships.
I currently use Poser Pro 2010 and Photoshop CS5 for all of my artwork, and I wouldn't be without my Wacom- poor thing, it's been through the wars and is currrently held together with bits of selotape, and you should see the pen!!..
Thanks for dropping by :)

The WWE heel called the Browns quarterback 'Johnny Idiot Face,' and said that neither he nor LeBron James would ever bring the city a title.
The quarterback is expected to join his Browns teammates for offseason training activities next week.
'It's obvious that [Manziel] would be a point of attention,' said Cleveland Coach Mike Pettine.
The quarterback then needs to prove that he actually belongs on an NFL roster.
Two words: Johnny Football.
According to the rapper, 'it's a jinx.'
The spandex-clad "Johnny JamBoogie" won't be seen leading any aerobics classes for a while.
Yet another partying-related incident for the embattled player, who had vowed to take his quarterbacking job more seriously.
His career depends on whether he can grow up.
The quarterback indicates to the media that he needs to prove to the Browns that he is fully committed to getting better.

NTSB got cause of 35W bridge collapse wrong, lawyer says
Attorneys representing 117 families of bridge collapse victims told a group of survivors and families that the National Transportation Safety Board came to the wrong conclusion about the cause of the 35W bridge collapse in 2007, says the Associated Press.
The attorneys hired experts to analyze the collapse and they found another cause for the deadly collapse on Aug. 1, 2007.
More from the AP:
Attorney Chris Messerly says the experts told survivors and families of victims Tuesday night the "initiating event" wasn't the fracture of a key gusset plate in the bridge, but the failure of a horizontal beam called a chord.
He says the experts concluded the chord buckled because of heat stresses on the bridge Aug. 1, 2007, the weight of construction materials on it, and frozen roller bearings that prevented the bridge from expanding.
The failed chord then led to the gusset plate fail.

Another Obama donor convicted of fraud
posted at 7:05 pm on December 30, 2011 by Tina Korbe
File this one under culture of corruption. Obama supporters just can't seem to stay out of trouble, can they? This latest scandal involves a former Tarheels basketball player and a $21 million bank fraud scheme. New York Daily News reports:
Courtney Dupree was convicted of vastly overstating the billings of his Long Island City-based lighting company GDC Acquisitions in order to fraudulently obtain a loan from Amalgamated Bank.
Dupree, 42, sat stone-faced as the verdict was read in Brooklyn Federal Court. He faces up to 30 years in prison and has to pay back at least $18 million. …
Dupree, who attended the elite Wharton School of Business, was a rainmaker in Democratic circles.
In 2008, Dupree hosted a $1,000-a-ticket fund-raiser for Barack Obama at his Broad St. apartment that was attended by top aide Valerie Jarrett.
His company counted NBC Universal and Goldman Sachs among its clients.
Such corruption occurs on either side of the aisle, of course, but that makes it no less disappointing when it happens.

One of the general truisms in fantasy basketball is that it is easier to make up ground in steals, blocks and 3s and harder in the percentage categories.
But as the season progresses, I also like to keep tabs on which categories might be deviating from this rule. This is important, because I like to know in which categories it would be easiest to make up ground via the acquisition of a single player.
Think of it in terms of statistical concentration.
Each category has a top 50. If a player ranks in the top 50 in a category, it's safe to say he's a strong producer in that category. But which categories have the most unevenly distributed value among that top 50? If you laid categories out on a curve, which ones would be flat and which ones would spike?
Most importantly, in which category could I make the biggest jump with an individual trade?
To find out, I went though each category, and using a mix of totals, averages and the Player Rater, I was able to see which categories possess the most uneven distribution of value.
I was expecting to confirm that blocks, steals and 3s rated at the top. But after the crunching, I was surprised to find a different category in the pole position: assists.
In 2009-10, there has been no other category as easy to dominate with so few players.
Actually, on paper, it makes a lot of sense. Each team has one primary facilitator on offense, so it's easy to assume there are only going to be 30 or so players in the NBA averaging at least five assists a night. This generally holds true; no NBA team has more than two players in the top 40 in assists.
But when you look at the individual numbers, you're looking at a category that is incredibly top-heavy (its polar opposite would be rebounds, which are as flat as a pancake.)
According to my calculations, there are only 20 real difference-makers in the assist category.
(I've included Chris Paul and a couple of other players whose season totals have been depressed by injury, but should soon round into form. I'm not including Derrick Rose, who is going through a sophomore slump and is finding it hard to crack five assists a night.)
Among those 20, I broke it down by tier:
Tier 3 (10 players)
Brandon Jennings, PG, Milwaukee Bucks
Tony Parker, PG, San Antonio Spurs (returning from injury)
Jameer Nelson, PG, Orlando Magic (injured)
Dwyane Wade, SG, Miami Heat
Aaron Brooks, PG, Houston Rockets
Brandon Roy, SG/SF, Portland Trail Blazers
Chauncey Billups, PG, Denver Nuggets
Chris Duhon, PG, New York Knicks
Andre Iguodala, SG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers
Gilbert Arenas, PG, Washington Wizards
Tier 2 (six players)
Devin Harris, PG, New Jersey Nets (returning from injury)
Jose Calderon, PG, Toronto Raptors
Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Baron Davis, PG, Los Angeles Clippers
Deron Williams, PG, Utah Jazz
LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers
Tier 1 (four players)
Rajon Rondo, PG, Boston Celtics
Jason Kidd, PG, Dallas Mavericks
Chris Paul, PG, New Orleans Hornets (injured)
Steve Nash, PG, Phoenix Suns
If you're looking for general trends, good luck. Elite-level assists are not broken down by which teams have the highest-scoring offenses. Despite playing on defensive-minded squads, Rajon Rondo and LeBron James rank third and fourth on the Player Rater in dimes. And despite Golden State's gaudy offensive output, you'd have to go all the way down to 20th on the Player Rater to find a Warrior (Stephen Curry).
No, when it comes to assists, it's important to just concentrate on the select few who are truly the movers and shakers at the position. If you own even two elite players at this position, you're going to be near the top in your league.
What are some specific strategies one could offer to compete in this category?
Own Steve Nash
If you own Nash, life is sweet. There is simply no other player in the NBA more dominant in a single statistical category. Nash gives almost three times as much production as Andre Miller. And the "Nash breaks down" argument is a red herring. Sure, with all the breathless reports about his various dings and lumbar strains, it's easy to assume Nash misses a significant amount of time each season. But over the past six seasons (since he came to the Suns and laid upon their magical training table), Nash has missed only about five games a year.
Nash is off to such a hot start that one has to assume he'll eventually fall back closer to Kidd and Rondo. But even then, you'll be the odds-on favorite to lead your league.
Trade for Chris Paul and/or Devin Harris right now
This is probably the final week you'll find a Paul or Harris owner whose resolve has dropped to the point that he or she would seriously entertain an offer, though.
Go under the radar
Most of the names on this list are pretty big names. You're going to have to give up quite a bit for any Tier 1 or Tier 2 player. But point guards such as Aaron Brooks, Andre Miller and Chris Duhon might be easier to acquire. Other players who might be productive via injury or trade would also qualify; Allen Iverson, Beno Udrih, Jason Williams and Jamaal Tinsley are current examples.
Look for non-point guards
In real-world terms of attainability, this should probably be your No. 1 strategy.
Of the 20 players on this list, only four play positions other than point guard: James, Wade, Iguodala and Roy. If you own one of these big names, chances are all you need is a solid Tier-2 point guard (like a Calderon) and you should be duking it out with the Nash and Kidd owners on a regular basis.
What if you don't have one of these four big names? Well, if you look just beyond the top 20, you'll see some other players who don't play the point that might be easier to acquire; Stephen Curry, Lamar Odom, Stephen Jackson and Hedo Turkoglu spring to mind. Pair one of these with a Tier-2 point and you'll be competing with the owner who snared Nash.
The good thing about this strategy is the paucity in available talent in assists at non-PG positions. Once you get below Trevor Ariza or so, the amount of assists available among non-point guards falls through the floorboards.
Trade for Marcus Camby, Nene, Tim Duncan or David Lee
There are only 15 centers in the NBA who average more than 1.5 assists a night. It might not seem like a big deal, but if you can find a center who averages 2.5 to 3.5 assists a night, you're padding your assist total at a position at which there are few assists to be found.
If you're starting Duncan against a team that has Dwight Howard, you're gaining 2.2 assists a night. That's the same difference between Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.
(And by the way, I really wouldn't recommend trading for Camby except in an absolute emergency. Unlike Nash, Camby has only Donald Sterling's cold, hard slab of a training table to look forward to.)

Happy with my order. Was looking for a vintage feel summer fair activity for a reasonable price. The website was really helpful - full of ideas, well presented although it could do with more direct links from the ideas to the products for sale.
The hoopla I bought looks like it should last for years. It's a nice size of set and should help our fundraising. It's well made. So nice to have proper wood! Dispatch and delivery was quick too. Looking forward to setting it up next month and seeing the children's reactions.
